Makes sense. That still isn't very good either; why bother singing live anyway if you're going to re-dub your own voice completely later? =| Especially since he's such a great singer in the first place; I don't think he needs to edit that much.

today i watched almost the full part of disc 1 of DRUG PARTY

well, he does not lipsych, BUT, in the songs REDEMPTION and ash.... they are sooo the same as the cd version!!!!! perhaps they edited the audio after... it's strange to sing the whole concert without two songs...

perhaps they had to edited because of some problems of recordings...

Actually, I don't think Gackt's live tours are the only ones that are edited. I believe that some of Ayu's lives on DVD are also edited. Sometimes it might not have to do with how good his vocals but it might also have to do with the sound system and everything, especially if he's going to be moving and the mic isn't really perfect.

I agree with Kikaru...I've never watched a Gackt live, but I have seen plenty of Ayu (and other artists too) lives and I think they do go back in and edit the performances. Personally, I'm glad they do because to me there is NOTHING worse than a squeaking microphone, deep breaths, and overemphasized loudness.

Yes, I'm fully aware that other DVDs are editted. However, you can still clearly recognize that the song is being sung live. For example, in AT06 and the performance of "Bold & Delicious", you can clearly hear Ayu's voice crack during the first verse. And the lives sound dramatically different than the recorded version. Trust me, I played the supposed live of Lu:na at Drug Party right on top of the recorded version on "The Sixth Day" and they're identical.

That's overkill IMO.

I know what you mean namiee, and i admit that te same occurs to me with redemtion and ahs

--

btw, other reasons of dvd editing may be the audience itself. In the concert of KOKIA in Paris they made a wonderful job removing very innappropiate sounds from public that would have ruined the experience of see songs like Chouwa-oto with reflection, live.

edit: it's apity we have little close ups of gackt in this one, he is gorgeous here!

Neo Daydream · #**151** 25th October 2007, 04:07 PM

*sigh* the cover is great! ^^ but I shouldn't buy one... cuz of my money situation...
man, I wish Gackt would do something so we knew he wasn't dead! Furin Kaazan (sp? w/e!) cannot take up ALL of his time!
Gackt-sama, come to me in the States! >.<

Rebirthia · #**152** 26th October 2007, 09:21 AM
